This service adds a policy number to a policy. The specific format and content of the policy number depends on business rules, and may vary depending the policy's product. The service checks the preconditions, and then generates a unique number before passing control into the product specific 'GeneratePolicyNumberRule'. The policy and unique number are passed into this rule. The rule isn't obliged to use the unique number, and may generate other numbers of it's own, but it is expected to set the policy's policy number to something other than null or '' (see the postconditions). The unique number generated by this service is unique in a system wide sence. The numbers it generates aren't necessarily contiguous and (as mentioned above) they may never be used. Numbers are allocated to instances of this service in a block by block basis. The service's configuration defines the last number allocated, and the size of the allocation blocks. The last number allocated is updated every time a new block is issued.

Specified by:

invoke in class Service

Throws:

PreconditionException

PostconditionException

BaseException
